Jenn Talley: The Sausage Gravy Smothered Chicken and Biscuits is phenomenal. The buttermilk fried chicken at Jacob's is the best I've ever had--this coming from a southern girl.
Eric Friedman: I challenge you to eat the southern BLT like a sandwich! Between the friend green tomatoes, incredible buttermilk fried chicken, and the towering pickle slaw this is a mountain of food!
Gothamist: Standout brunch items include the biscuit pancakes & buttermilk fried chicken combo, the equally decadent biscuits, gravy & fried eggs plate, and the biscuits french toast. Do not attempt on a diet. Read more.

Jose Nanin: Great new restaurant! Chicken vodka sauce pizza, Brussel sprouts, and buttermilk chicken were all delicious. The beignets were a wonderful dessert! Service was excellent also!
Alethia Mendez: Lots of pizza options, wine on tap, and a very yummy but surprising Buttermilk Fried Chicken! 👍👍👍

Gentrifried Chicken: Try the Buttermilk Fried Chicken Grilled Cheese with pepper jack cheese, creamy red cabbage slaw (which balances everything pretty nicely), and melt sauce. Read more.
Arnel Benoit: Buttermilk fried chicken makes me happy
Andrew Kippen: Skip the buttermilk fried chicken and go straight to the buffalo bleu. If you're here for breakfast, make sure that your sandwich comes on a biscuit; it puts the brioche bun to shame.
Jasmine: Try the Buttermilk Fried Chicken Sandwich - This chicken sandwich is the truth! Get it for brunch instead of dinner though
Jasmine: Try the Buttermilk Pancakes - Thr pancakes are so wonderful. And the maple butter sauce is like,like liquid crack or better yet candilicious... Yum
Charlotte & Lisa: Must try the buttermilk biscuit sandwich and banana pancakes. Best time to get a table after 2 PM weekdays. No reservations accepted and lines often 3 hours +. What won't we do for a good brunch?

Cecilia Francesca PINEDA: Ice cream... Pineapple upside down cake in buttermilk frozen yogurt. Some of the best flavors obviously run out soonest, so you should go early on in the day for the best selection of flavors.
Dan Torres: The buttermilk fried chicken sandwich at Genuine is great.
Michael Fox-Rabinovitz: Genuine buttermilk sandwich is pretty small and uneventful, dill fries OK, but by no means a must. Ample Hills still awesome.

Houssine B.: Make your own egg sandwich, with buttermilk biscuit rather than bread, and with tons of Chipotle Bourbon ketchup. I can't wait to come back.
Josy Hamren: BEC - tomato jam. Buttermilk biscuit.

jessica m. hintermeister: Charcoaled Tempura Leeks With Strained Buttermilk (Vegetarian Tasting Menu)
Risa: Grub Street off-menu dish: Charcoaled Tempura Leeks With Strained Buttermilk. "People who order the vegetarian tasting are privy to dishes that meat-eaters won't get, like the fried-leek dish."
E: One of the most memorable experiences. Beautiful decor, absolutely amazing innovative dishes. Slight Japanese touch.

Tara: Love this place. ADORABLE! Recommendations: rose sencha tea, buttermilk scone, pumpkin scone, egg salad sandwich (which comes w. a delish side of mixed greens!).
Celine G: Pumpkin and buttermilk scones! Heavenly!!!
TeeAnje Bright: Cute quaint little place for morning, afternoon, or all day tea. Must get their buttermilk scones, and the mixed berry scones. Delicious, scrumptiously made and so moist.
